Abstract: A method and apparatus for tensioning a staggered anchorage comprised of a plurality of tension members, which are anchored in a bore hole at various depths, thus having different free steel lengths. For each staggered anchorage, each tension member is tensioned up to a predetermined maximal load and is then subsequently adjusted to the working load. To achieve a consistent elongation reserve of the individual tension member and thus to increase the security of a staggered anchorage, the staggered anchorage is adjusted to the working load, all tension members are adjusted to a reduced elongation (.DELTA.lw) by a uniform elongation difference (.DELTA.lmax - .DELTA.lW) relative to the respective elongation (.DELTA.lmax) of the predetermined maximal load. An arrangement for performing the method has a single tensioning plane, which is force interconnected with defined locking elements that are arranged on tension members in clamping planes.

Abstract: For subband-based OFDM demodulation, a "partial" Fourier transform is performed on a sequence of N input samples for an OFDM symbol to obtain Nc received symbols for a group of Nc data subbands, where Nc ~ L = N and L > 1 .  For the partial Fourier transform, the N input samples are rotated with a phasor to obtain N rotated input samples, which are accumulated (for each set of L samples) to obtain Nc time-domain values. An Nc-point FFT is performed on the Nc time-domain values to obtain the Nc received symbols. Channel gain estimates for the data subbands are also obtained, for example, by performing a partial Fourier transform to obtain received pilot symbols, an inverse FFT  to obtain time-domain channel gain values, and an FFT to obtain channel gain estimates for the data subbands. The received symbols are processed with (e.g., equalized by) the channel gain estimates to obtain recovered data symbols.
